The Pavilion covers an area of 234m²and incorporates more than 20 iconic Swiss brands. A few highlights this year which will offer a unique Swiss experience to all visitors:

• The largest concentration of Swiss wines in China thanks to a unique partnership between Swiss Centers and Swiss Wine Promotion, with the goal of promoting the excellence of Swiss viticulture.
• Two newcomers, who are not present on the Chinese market yet:

1. Distillerie Louis Morand: a family-owned company founded in 1889 in the alpine canton of Valais, which passionately produces quality brandies, liqueurs and syrups, made from fresh fruit, rich in aroma and ripened in the sun in the surrounding orchards.

2. Blackmint SA: founded in 1863 in Travers by the great-grandfather of Yves Kübler (then called Kübler & Romang), this distillery is the most important producer of absinthe, an iconic spirit originated from Switzerland and sometimes called “The Green Fairy”.

• The common area will incorporate a Bar, a Chef’s Kitchen, and a Premium Swiss-style Living Room.
